Man, do I feel ashamed.

KAMI : Oh, yes...In the same way that, when people say they do "Traditional Aikido", they're implying that the rest of us do "un-traditional"(???) Aikido.
Or worse, when they say they do "combat Aikido" which implies that we are "non-combative"...
Or "hard Aikido" (what does that make us? Jelly?...)
Ach, so! Anyway, I may not like you but I would like to know if your technique is good or not without any personal bias.
Let's see other opinions
